A Hidden Treasure Twist in the Garden
Two lucky Irish Lotto players from County Limerick have experienced the thrill of a lifetime, winning €5,501,086 in the National Lottery’s 25th September draw. The duo claimed their win this week in Dublin. When their winning numbers came up, excitement filled the room – but not without a touch of disbelief.
One of the winners recalls that unforgettable moment: “I was watching the draw live on TV, and when the winning numbers flashed on the screen, I froze. It took a few glances to believe it was real. One of us was jumping around in excitement while the other was too stunned to move! It’s something we’ll never forget.”
In fact, she was so overwhelmed she doesn’t remember the episode of Fair City that aired afterward. “Even that night, neither of us could sleep. It was like nothing we’d ever felt.”
The duo decided to stash their valuable ticket not in a safe, but in a spot closer to nature. With a chuckle, one of them shared, “We had an empty jar lying around from dinner, so I cleaned it, popped the ticket inside, and buried it in the garden. I only dug it up last night to bring it to Dublin!”
They have faithfully played the Irish Lotto with same set of numbers for years and say they’ll continue to play every now and then. With this jackpot in hand, however, they’re ready to take life a little easier, with plans for some world travel.
This win makes the Limerick duo the 7th Lotto Jackpot winner of 2024, adding to an exciting year for Irish Lotto fans. They also join the ranks of six other big winners from across the country, including those in Dublin, Louth, and another Limerick winner earlier this year. To date, 2024 has seen 26 new lottery millionaires anointed in Ireland.
